ORPHANS
About
Overcrowded, run-down, under-funded and decaying are just some of the adjectives that describe the post-Soviet orphanages of Ukraine. These are usually called "internats" and serve for both real orphans and those children who have been taken into the care of the state.

Hope Now supports 15 internats and special schools providing medicines, winter clothing, educational materials and computers, additional food and improving the infrastructure by repairing or replacing antiquated buildings, installing indoor toilet and shower facilities, central heating, gymnasiums and much more.
 
Since 2004, Hope Now has partnered with the Cherkassy Institute for Education in a programme called No Child Left Behind. This is designed to bring the level of education up to a much higher level as part of the solution to the high incidence of post internat homelessness and suicides.
 
Hope Now also has two post internat, pre-independence homes where orphans can gain extra skills and qualifications in an environment designed to preapare them for independence.
